The lecture which Stuart Bull from ARUP gave made me realise that there are a few similarities between his workflow at ARUP and our workflow for BENV 2423. He discussed how programs such as 3DS Max, Rhino,AutoCAD, Revit and ArchiCAD are great help in creating and calculating successful designs. They are able to produce highly detailed designs and plans for various people such as architects, engineers and clients.
The collaboration of these different programs will produce very good models as they will take the strength of each program. The use of several programs to achieve high quality work can be compared to our workflow for experiment two where we are using three different programs: Solidworks, 3DS Max and Crysis as each program has its own strengths.

Week 5 Independent Study
Research Question
Which workflow (SketchUp to Crysis or Solidworks to Crysis) involves the least amount of steps and procedures to get a modelled/textured object into Crysis?

Week 5 In-Class Task
Vinh took a look at my videos and he suggested a few things for me to consider about my sketch installation and my Town Hall Station model
- Do the columns aid people's navigation?
- Are they impeding
- Does the installation create efficiency for Town Hall Station
- Are the columns obvious? Do people know to use them as travellators?
- Which option is most efficient? Compare how long it takes to travel to the top via walking or through the use of the columns.
- Who will be able to use the columns?
- Only change Town Hall Station for the better

Week 3 Independent Study
Draft Sketch Installation
- Columns/pods will be used for transporting people when they get off the train to the stairs, escalators or lifts
- Will be available to the disadvantaged such as the elderly or disabled but will also allow people with heavy luggage
- Use of capsules limited to certain people to avoid long lines and/or overcrowding
How long does it take to transport?
May take longer to move around in capsules than to walk but person will be able to carry more things which in the end will save time
